"Art runs from page to page with paintbrush or colored pencil, drawing as he goes, paying direct homage to Harold and the Purple Crayon. Harold now has a perfect companion in Art. Sheer delight."--Kirkus Reviews
"McDonnell takes a familiar topic--an imaginative boy who loves to draw--and injects this volume with an exuberant comic-strip sensibility."--Publishers Weekly
